STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented J une24, 1919.

Application filed February 12, 1918. Serial No. 216,699.

T0 all 07mm t may concern:

Be it known that we, FREDERICK BEUGK- MAN and I-IENRY BAUER, citizens of the United States, residing at Belleville, in the county of St. Clair and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves, of which the following is a speciication.

Our present invention relates to improvements in stoves, particularly of the heating type that employs a liquid or gaseous fuel for heating the air.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a hot air heater of this type that is comparatively simple in construction and operation, inexpensive of manufacture and maintenance, and in which the parts are so arranged as to produce a multipleX radiation of heat from the fire chamber to the heating chambers in order to quickly Y and thoroughly produce the required heat, for direct radiation to the room wherein the stove is located. The invention consists in certain novel combinations and arrangements of parts of the stove consisting of vertically disposed radiators forming heating mediums properly connected and so located as to form hot air spaces, all as will bemore clearly set forth hereinafter in the specification and claims.

In the accompanying drawings we have illustrated one complete example of the physical embodiment of our invention arranged as a stove for heating a single room, both constructed and arranged according to the best mode we have so far devised for the practical application of the principles of our invention.

Figure 1 is a sectional view of our invention embodied in a heating stove.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of the stove, showingI the heat radiators or radiating chambers in top plan view.

In the form of the invention illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 we preferably utilize a casing or jacket 1, of rectangular outline or shape, closed at its lower end with the bottom 2 and having a top 3, the stove being supported on legs 4: asD usual. In the top 3 a register 5 of the well known type such as designated at 24 in Fig. 2 is located, a handle 6 being shown, by means of which the register may be operated to permit free passage or restricted passage of hot air from the stove.

Preferably liquid or gaseous fuel lsemployed, and to this end the burners 7 are sho-wn, being supplied from the inlet or supply pipe 8, and provided'with a baffle or guard plate or shield 9. The Yburners arc located at thebottom of the stove, within an inclosure or combustion chamber 10 having an inclined top and occupying a major portion of the floor or bottom of the stove, and extending horizontally thereof, and at one side the combustion chamber is fashioned with an upright portion 11 which rises to near the top of the stove, and forms a radiator for heat as well as a conveyer or flue for the fumes from the burners in the combustion chamber 10. In addition to the radiator 11 there are two other radiators 12 and` 13, the latter two being located above the combustion chamber 10 and forming a space 10a therebetween, and the three radiators, as will be evident, are spaced from each other and spaced from the jacket or walls of the stove casing 1. The three radiators stand in parallelism and are connected by the respective flues 14 and 15, the flues 111 connecting the first and second radiators being located at their upper ends,

'vwhile the flues 15 connecting the second and third radiators are located at their lower ends, thus providing for a tortuous or zigzag passage of the hot gases of combustion through the radiators, until they nally reach the outlet or smoke flue 16, which is located at the upper end of the radiator 13, and the fumes are then conveyed through a suitable chimney.

The location and disposition of the spaced radiators 11, 12, 13, provide for hot air spaces or chambers 17 and 18 between the radiators, and 19 and 20 between the stove jacket and the radiators, all of which spaces open freely to the air inlet space 10"JL above the combustion chamber 10. Air to be heated is admitted to the stove through the boX 21 located at one side of the stove, just under the smoke flue 16, and opening into the heating space 10a, the interior chamber being indicated as 22. Air may be admitted to the chamber 22 and thence to space 10a, through a pipe from the atmosphere and through theV opening closed by the gate 23, which gate may be adjusted for the purpose, or air may be admitted to the chamber 22 and thence to the heating space 10a, directly from the room through the open dampers or slides 24:, 24: in the top of the inlet box v21. Air for combustion is supplied through the opening 7a in the bottom 2 of the stove, and the baffle, guard, or shield 9 guides the air currents so that the proper combustion takes place in the combustion chamber 10. The course for the gases of combustion is indicated by the arrows, as they zig-zag their way through the radiators and flues to the smoke iiue 16, and the course of the heated air currents as they pass upwardly around the radiators is indicated by the arrows until they iinally pass out through the register 5 in the top of the stove. It will be evident that a maximum surface for heat radiation is attained by the disposition and arrangement of the radiators, so that the air currents flowing upwardly through the stove will be quickly and thoroughly heated before they pass through the register in the top of the stove.

Vhat we claim is:

1. A casing, a combustion chamber located von the bottom of the casing and formed with an inclined top, and a vertical flue located at one side of the top and terminating adjacent to the top of the casing and serving as a radiator, gas burners in the combustion chamber adjacent to said inclined top, radiators suspended in said casing and communicating with each other and with the combustion chamber flue and an outlet iue and forming a tortuous passage for the products of combustion, said casing having an air inlet in its bottom opening' into the combustion chamber and an air outlet in its top, and an air inlet at one side whereby the air is directed over the top of the combustion chamber and under and over the radiators, and a delector adjacent the burners and the air inlet opening in the bottom of the comlbustion chamber.

2. A casing with air inlet opening at one side and air inlet at the top; a combustion chamber at the bottom of the casing with an inclined top and merging into a verti cal flue radiator, a second radiator connected at the upper end to the first radiator, said second radiator connected at its lower end by a flue to the lower end of a third radiator and an outlet flue connected to the upper end of said third radiator, the air passing over the top of combustion chamber and under and over the radiators and out of the top of the casing, said casing having an air inlet in its bottom opening into the combustion chamber and an air outlet in its top and an air inlet at one side whereby the air is directed over the top of the combustion chamber and under and over the radiators, burners in the combustion chamber, and a deflector adjacent the burners and the air inlet opening in the bottom of the combustion chamber.

In testimony whereof we afhX our signatures.
